Putting Things Off

Got to stop putting it off, but I really got to stop procrastinating and actually do as I keep saying I will do and that's editing my Folksy listings.

I really don't want to go back through all my Folksy listings again to alter the postage, it's one thing to remove the postage it's quite another to go back through and remember what you had before you did it. Whilst Etsy has it's quibbles and is getting to big for it's boots and has many instances where it doesn't seem to focus on the handmade, at least it has batch shipping option, and shipping profiles.

I'm really at a loss as to what to do with Folksy and I know I've mentioned it many times before but I think I might have to consider culling it which is not something I relish and I could just leave it up there, but it's essentially lost stock. So I think I might have to come to my decision by the end of the week. Thoughts from sellers would be appreciated.

Button Fest!

SOLD

I have a few more to make, rather enjoying using up my fabric bits and pieces that I can't bear to part with, whilst I consider working on a new mini quilt (sent images of my recently finished one off to Liberty, eek) and another commission. Both sets are available in my Etsy Store, and UK buyers take note free shipping!

OH, and yes I forgot about my Folksy store still free UK and International shipping till this Sunday

How to Make a Day Better

Had disappointing news? I have, could say a double whammy, but you know worse things in life, well that's what I keep thinking. Here's how I sort of got over it this morning:

1. Had a lovely conversation with a dear friend, a sibling and my mum
2. Encouraging messages from other friends and family
3. Made some mini scones, because the best things in life come in small packages, just remember diamond rings after all come in small boxes. At least scones however are edible.
4. Think f*** this and get on with some projects for you
5. Made some fabric buttons, some for a dress, and some to sell and feel pleased that they come out lovely.
6. Ate chocolate

I can now say I feel a bit better, sure it stinks, I got turned down for two jobs from the same company, which was a bit of a kick in the teeth got great feedback but I've had that before great feedback but never an offer. (On a side note if anyone needs a qualified secretary with a wicked sense of humour and can sew send me a note)
